Mama Elephant Photo InspirationChallenge

Hi friends! I hope you are well. We are embarking on our Spring Break this week. Amazingly, it's not so much a break for me. ;) But we will get to do some fun things and hopefully see some friends that we don't get to see much during the school year.

Today, I made a card and now I'm blogging it. Look, it's like a trend or something. I decided to play along with the Mama Elephant Photo Inspiration Challenge. I just got my first Mama Elephant Stamps this week and I looooove them! I usually try to order my stamps when I buy the rest of my supplies so that I'm not paying so much in shipping but none of the sets I wanted were ever in stock at the stores I looked at. I folded aand ordered from Mama Elephant directly. The shipping was SO fast!

This photo really was a challenge for me. To me, this photo is really light and airy and I didn't know how to convey that in a card. I tried my best though. I'm debating on giving this card to Dustin for our anniversary on Wednesday but I'm not sure. I might make a couple more and see how I feel. I used some really old SU ink and a very old technique I learned from a SU party to watercolor the inside of the speech bubble. I stamped the little birdie (she's me!) and colored her with Copics and Wink of Stella in clear. I stamped the sentiment and stamped the little heart twice in the same color ink I watercolored with. Then I finished with some sequins from Pretty Pink Posh. I looooove these little clear ones! They are so cute!
